Church Explore career opportunities in agriculture The agricultural industry provides a variety of opportunities to profession- als interested in this often misunder- stood field. According to the employment re- source AGCareers.com, more than 250 career profiles are available to people interested in a career in agri- culture. And while jobs in agriculture may not be as prevalent as they were a few centuries ago, when 72 percent of the workforce was employed in farm occupations in the United States, ag- riculture remains a booming industry that greatly affects the nation's econo- my. Today, one in 12 American jobs is depends on agriculture, according to the career resource Payscale. The following are some potential professions for those considering ca- reers in agriculture. • Agricultural business manager: This person oversees the business operations of a farm by providing or- ganization and leadership during the production process. He or she con- tacts creditors, selects seeds, buys new equipment, and ensures the dis- tribution of product. • Agricultural lawyer: Attorneys who specialize in agriculture deal with water and environmental issues, repre- sent agricultural labor in disputes, en- sure proper marketing techniques are followed, handle real estate and land use issues, and much more. • Animal control officer: These of- ficers enforce local and regional laws that pertain to the treatment and care of animals. They patrol for distressed animals and ensure cruelty-free prac- tices are adhered to. • Grain buyer: Grain buyers build relationships with producers so they can purchase grain for their particular companies. They negotiate purchase agreements, source grain supplies and issue purchase orders. • Poultry hatchery manager: Hatchery managers oversee all of the aspects involved in poultry hatch- ing. These can include management of personnel, handling and sorting of eggs, maintenance of equipment, coordination of pick-ups and deliver- ies, and overseeing quality control. • Soil scientist: Among the ma- ny tasks they might perform, scien- tists in the field of agriculture test soil samples for minerals and con- taminants. By studying the soil, sci- entists can recommend which crops the land can support, how much live- stock can feed in an area and the im- plications of agriculture on the area as it pertains to managing natural re- sources. A career in agriculture presents many exciting opportunities in a number of different applications. It's a vast industry that utilizes pro- fessionals with an array of skillsets. AGRICULTURE AND THE ECONOMY Though it's easy to look at the tech industry and think this increasingly influential sector is what makes the world go round, something closer to the very core of the Earth may be what's driving your economy. The agricultural sector plays a strategic role in a nation's eco- nomic development and prosperi- ty. From the earliest days, agricul- ture has been heralded as playing a crucial role in North American cul- ture. Farmers who grow produce and raise livestock for meats and other products have long exemplified what it means to work hard and take ini- tiatives to be self-sufficient. The symbiotic nature of agricul- ture and the economy is noticeable when examining the ups and downs of each. This is because food pro- duction and the potential of agricul- ture extends beyond the fields and local food stands. These resources impact supply chains and other mar- kets. A strong agriculture base in- fluences other employment sectors like food manufacturing, biotechnol- ogy, hospitality, machinery building, and much more, while a weak agri- culture can adversely affect those sectors. While it can be difficult for resi- dents of developed nations to visu- alize agriculture's effect, one only needs to turn to impoverished and developing nations to see just how big an impact agriculture can have on an economy. Agriculture provides food and raw materials, eventual- ly creating demand for goods pro- duced in non-agricultural sectors. Also, food provides nutrition that can serve as the foundation of a healthy nation. Earning a living in agricul- ture strengthens purchasing power, which fuels other markets. Eventu- ally, farming can pave the way for development, including roads, mar- kets, shipping services, exporting, and many other sectors. Agriculture is an important eco- nomic building block. An especial- ly important sector, the agricultural industry, when supported, can con- tribute greatly to sustained econom- ic growth.
